Hungary

The law firm was founded on June 11, 2007 on the initiative of Dr. Balázs M. Mayer, Attorney at Law. Dr. Mayer’s activities include but are not limited to excise- and customs tax as well as labor law, where he has over ten years of experience. Besides these special areas, the law firm regularly covers civil rights- and corporate law issues as well. The office is a member of the DRD Firm of Lawyers (www.drd.hu). From 2002 to 2007, Dr. Mayer has worked for the Customs and Finance Guard’s National Headquarters as Legal Secretary and later as Legal Adviser. During these years, Dr. Mayer was mainly involved in labor law-, customs- and excise tax-related administrative proceedings, while traditional civil law cases were also part of his tasks. His career required that Dr. Mayer had detailed and profound knowledge of customs- and excise tax legislation. The office offers complex legal services in the areas of Customs- and Forwarding Law. Within this framework, we provide legal assistance with the entire procedure of forwarding (transport) by means of immediate legal advice, including written resolutions in complex cases. We support our clients in correspondence with the authorities, especially with the professional administration of presentation to customs and individual customs procedures. Our office is specialized in providing efficient support with on-site-administration (i.e., at borders or inland customs office) given that we have excellent contacts with Hungary’s largest customs broker companies as well as “AEO”-rated companies in charge of legal representation in tax matters. Another important element of our services is the provision of legal representation in review- and administrative procedures concerning official decisions.
